TVe show here a model of this type of mulberry silk chiffon velvet.

All white for the very small boy la as much a fad this year as It was last season, and there arc many fashionable mothers who Insist that their little sons shall wear only white a law Involving many changes of clothes, even In one day. But the more sensible rule permits darker and more serviceable play clothes, roservlng white for afternoon and evcnlncr and dress occasions. To dress a small boy In a fashion that demands de-mands thought of his clothes and serious seri-ous limitations to his play during the greater part of the day is as foolish a thing as a mother can do in pursuanco of fashion, and, fortunately, sensible dressing of children Is gaining ground every year. Linen In the dull blues and khaki colors, col-ors, drill, seersucker, French gingham any stout linen or cotton stuff that, while not too heavy for comfort, will launder and wear well Is appropriate for the Russian tub suit of serviceable character, while for the white Russian suit, linen and pique have first place, the latter having regained prestige, which for a season or two It seemed to have lost. For the Russian blouse or the woo boy's Russian dress Innumerable collar and front effects have been devised, so that much originality Is possible within the limitations of tho general outline. Tho blouse whose fronts cross over in what would be called surplice fashion If one were speaking of things girlish is a great favorite this season. Collar and revers or a long sloping smoker collar turn back from a shield or dickey and cross to a double-breasted lino Just about tho belt or slightly abovo It. In some of tho newest blouses a collar effect, with an upper part buttoning down upon the lower part Is used, and blouses or dresses of this class, designed for very young boya frequently have buttonholed scalloped edges on the collar. The regulation sailor suit with long trousers or knickers Is as correct as ever for the boy Just past Russian blouse age, and many modish women provide white linen and fine white serge sailor suits for dress, and blue linen and blue serge sailor suits for play year In and year out. until sailor suits are set for good and all. Double-breasted fronts with a wide box plait running from throat to bottom bot-tom and side plaits on either side are exceedingly pretty, and smartest little suits of this sort are of white mohair with no trimming except stitching and big pearl buttons and perhaps embroidered em-broidered emblems on sleeve and shield. Play blouses, as a rule, have narrow turnover collars in the material or In white, and rows of pearl buttons down each edge of the box plait. Such a blouse Is very often made for separate linen collars, and in dark stuff is more easily kept clean and freshened than the blouse whose broad collar. If not white Itself, at least demands an expanse ex-panse of white shield. Models of this sort have sold very well In mohair this summer, and oddly enough, a dark, serviceable gray has been the favorite color. The thing Is. however, by no means as bad as It sounds, for the gray is soft In hue, though fairly dark, and a thread of white gives it a pepper and salt effect without maning it light enough to soil easily. With big, white pearl buttons, a white linen collar and white belt the suit Is very cool and fresh looking, yet extremely practical. The white belt, of course, a.-jils easily, but It Is cleaned without much trouble, and for play purposes a belt of the mohair or of black patent leather may be substituted. substi-tuted. Dark blue mohair is also made up in the many Russian models as well as suits of white mohair. Here again we find much diversity In trimming, white silk braid, light blue braid, gold buttons, but-tons, etc., being used In all imaginable ways. A MODISH There Is Infinite variety In the coat and skirt costume of the day, and evidently evi-dently autumn and winter modes are to permit quite as much latitude In coat lines as has prevailed during the summer. The coat may be pf any length from bolero to redlngote and the latter Is. we are told, to bo even more generally worn than It was In tho spring, severely tailored in fine suddIc cloth. A delightful model is In Parma violet satin cloth, with collar and revers of velvet several shades deeper, and as our sketch shows, the redincote Is oddly put together. Wide bias bands of cloth, heavily stitched, start from shoulder line and extend to end of coat, running all around the bottom. A vest of finely plaited tafTeta effects a closing. The sleeves are elbow length with deep turned velvet cuffs. AN ADVANCE HINT IN MILLINERY. There Is talk of reaction In favor of the navy blues for street wear, and a greenish bluo of the old-time peacock blue tone has gradually attained a certain vogue In millinery and Is represented in many of the fall hats. At a private showing was one here Illustrated, In smooth black beaver, trimmed with tips of several shades of this somewhat vivid blue, from light to dark.
